Michael Gordon, the gross warmonger reporter at the NYT, has a headline story today in which big tears are shed over the fact that the U.S. didn't even get a nice little military base in Iraq - oh, the grief! I always
like to think of Gordon in terms of his various triumphs in reporting
about Iraq. Who can forget his eagerness to relay fake information about
Iraq's nuclear weapons before the war? This is typical Gordon, lying
through his teeth, helping to bring on hundreds of thousands of deaths:
“WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, 2002 -- More than a decade after Saddam Hussein
agreed to give up weapons of mass destruction, Iraq has stepped up its
quest for nuclear weapons and has embarked on a worldwide hunt for
materials to make an atomic bomb, Bush administration officials said
today.
In the last 14 months, Iraq has sought to buy thousands of
specially designed aluminum tubes, which American officials believe were
intended as components of centrifuges to
enrich
uranium. American officials said several efforts to arrange the
shipment of the aluminum tubes were blocked or intercepted but declined
to say, citing the sensitivity of the intelligence, where they came from
or how they were stopped.
The diameter, thickness and other
technical specifications of the aluminum tubes had persuaded American
intelligence experts that they were meant for Iraq's nuclear program,
officials said, and that the latest attempt to ship the material had
taken place in recent months.
The attempted purchases are not the
only signs of a renewed Iraqi interest in acquiring nuclear arms.
President Hussein has met repeatedly in recent months with Iraq's top
nuclear scientists and, according to American intelligence, praised
their efforts as part of his campaign against the West."
It is sweet
that the NYT has a policy of retaining reporters who relay absolute
falsehoods - as long as they are in good with the Pentagon! Makes me
feel all comfy inside.
